Abstract
A junction box assembly includes a junction box housing and a connector assembly. Connectors in the junction box housing mate with corresponding connectors in the connector assembly. First cams are provided for the mating pairs of connectors to facilitate engagement of the connectors. Second cams are provided at positions other than on the connectors, to facilitate engagement of the junction box housing and the connector assembly. The first and second cams reduce the required force necessary to press the junction box housing and the connector assembly into engagement with each other.
